5.1 The Natural Logarithmic : Differentiation

Develop and use properties of the natural logarithmic function. Understand the definition of the number e. Find of functions involving the natural logarithmic function.

The Natural Logarithmic Function Recall that the General x nϩ1 ͵x n dx ϭ ϩ , n Ϫ1 General Power Rule n ϩ 1 has an important disclaimer—it doesn’t apply when n ϭϪ1. Consequently, you have not yet found an for the function f ͑x͒ ϭ 1͞x. In this section, you will use the Second Fundamental Theorem of to define such a function. This antiderivative is a function that you have not encountered previously in the text. It is neither algebraic nor trigonometric, but falls into a new class of functions called logarithmic functions. This particular function is the natural logarithmic function.

JOHN NAPIER (1550–1617) Definition of the Natural Logarithmic Function were invented by the Scottish mathematician John The natural logarithmic function is defined by Napier. Napier coined the term x 1 , from the two Greek ln x ϭ ͵ dt, x > 0. words logos (or ratio) and 1 t arithmos (or number), to describe the theory that he spent 20 years The domain of the natural logarithmic function is the set of all positive real developing and that first appeared numbers. in the book Mirifici Logarithmorum canonis descriptio (A Description of the Marvelous Rule of Logarithms). Although he did not From this definition, you can see that ln x is positive for x > 1 and negative for introduce the natural logarithmic 0 < x < 1, as shown in Figure 5.1. Moreover,ln͑1͒ ϭ 0, because the upper and lower function, it is sometimes called the limits of integration are equal when x ϭ 1. Napierian logarithm.

y To sketch the graph of y ϭ ln x, you can think of the natural logarithmic function y = ln x as an antiderivative given by the 1 (1, 0) dy 1 x ϭ . 1 2345 dx x − 1 Figure 5.2 is a computer-generated graph, called a field (or direction field), ͞ ϭ −2 showing small line segments of slope 1 x. The graph of y ln x is the solution that passes through the point ͑1, 0͒. (You will study slope fields in Section 6.1.) −3 The next theorem lists some properties of the natural logarithmic function.

1 Each small line segment has a slope of . x THEOREM 5.1 Properties of the Natural Logarithmic Function Figure 5.2 The natural logarithmic function has the following properties. 1. The domain is ͑0, ϱ͒ and the range is ͑Ϫϱ, ϱ͒. 2. The function is continuous, increasing, and one-to-one. 3. The graph is concave downward.

y y′ = 1 Proof The domain of f ͑x͒ ϭ ln x is ͑0, ϱ͒ by definition. Moreover, the function is y′ = 1 4 3 continuous because it is differentiable. It is increasing because its y′ = 1 x = 4 1 2 x = 3 y = ln x 1 y′ = 1 x = 2 fЈ ͑x͒ ϭ First derivative x x y′ = 2 1 234 x = 1 is positive for x > 0, as shown in Figure 5.3. It is concave downward because −1 x = 1 y′ = 3 2 1 x = 1 fЉ ͑x͒ ϭϪ Second derivative y′ = 4 3 x2 −2 x = 1 4 is negative for x > 0. The proof that f is one-to-one is given in Appendix A. The The natural logarithmic function is increasing, and its graph is concave following limits imply that its range is the entire line. downward. ϭϪϱ limϩ ln x Figure 5.3 x→0 and lim ln x ϭ ϱ x→ϱ Verification of these two limits is given in Appendix A. See LarsonCalculus.com for Bruce Edwards’s video of this proof.

Using the definition of the natural logarithmic function, you can prove several important properties involving operations with natural logarithms. If you are already familiar with logarithms, you will recognize that these properties are characteristic of all logarithms.

THEOREM 5.2 Logarithmic Properties If a and b are positive numbers and n is rational, then the following properties are true. 1. ln͑1͒ ϭ 0 2. ln͑ab͒ ϭ ln a ϩ ln b 3. ln͑an͒ ϭ n ln a a 4. ln΂ ΃ ϭ ln a Ϫ ln b b

Proof The first property has already been discussed. The proof of the second property follows from the fact that two of the same function differ at most by a constant. From the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and the definition of the natural logarithmic function, you know that d d x 1 1 ͓ln x͔ ϭ ΄͵ dt΅ ϭ . dx dx 1 t x So, consider the two derivatives d a 1 ͓ln͑ax͔͒ ϭ ϭ dx ax x and d 1 1 ͓ln a ϩ ln x͔ ϭ 0 ϩ ϭ . dx x x Because ln͑ax͒ and ͑ln a ϩ ln x͒ are both antiderivatives of 1͞x, they must differ at most by a constant. ln͑ax͒ ϭ ln a ϩ ln x ϩ C By letting x ϭ 1, you can see that C ϭ 0. The third property can be proved similarly by comparing the derivatives of ln͑xn͒ and n lnx. Finally, using the second and third properties, you can prove the fourth property. a ln΂ ΃ ϭ ln͓a͑bϪ1͔͒ ϭ ln a ϩ ln͑bϪ1͒ ϭ ln a Ϫ ln b b

See LarsonCalculus.com for Bruce Edwards’s video of this proof.

When using the properties of logarithms to rewrite logarithmic functions, you must check to see whether the domain of the rewritten function is the same as the domain of −5 the original. For instance, the domain of f͑x͒ ϭ ln x 2 is all real numbers except x ϭ 0, Figure 5.4 and the domain of g͑x͒ ϭ 2 ln x is all positive real numbers. (See Figure 5.4.)

There, without the benefit of calculus, 3 logarithms would have been defined in terms of a y = 1 t base number. For example, common logarithms have a base of 10 and therefore log 10 ϭ 1. (You 2 10 e Area = ∫ 1 dt = 1 will learn more about this in Section 5.5.) 1 t The base for the natural logarithm is defined 1 using the fact that the natural logarithmic function

is continuous, is one-to-one, and has a range of t ͑Ϫϱ, ϱ͒. So, there must be a unique real number x 1 2 3 such that ln x ϭ 1, as shown in Figure 5.5. This e ≈ 2.72 number is denoted by the letter e. It can be shown e is the base for the natural that e is irrational and has the following decimal logarithm because ln e ϭ 1. approximation. Figure 5.5

Definition of e The letter e denotes the positive real number such that e1 ln e ϭ ͵ dt ϭ 1. 1 t

Once you know that ln e ϭ 1, you can use logarithmic properties to evaluate the natural logarithms of several other numbers. For example, by using the property ln͑e n͒ ϭ n ln e ϭ n͑1͒ ϭ n y you can evaluate ln͑e n͒ for various values of n, as shown in the table and in Figure 5.6. y = ln x (e2, 2) 2 (e, 1) 1 1 1 1 0 Ϸ Ϸ Ϸ 0 2 (e , 0) x 3 0.050 2 0.135 0.368 e ϭ 1 e Ϸ 2.718 e Ϸ 7.389 x e e e 1 2 345678 − Ϫ Ϫ Ϫ −1 (e 1, −1) ln x 3 2 10 1 2 −2 −2 (e , −2) − The logarithms shown in the table above are convenient because the x- values are −3 (e 3, −3) integer powers of e.

The first part of the theorem follows from the definition of the natural logarithmic function as an antiderivative. The second part of the theorem is simply the version of the first part.

Napier used logarithmic properties to simplify calculations involving products, quotients, and powers. Of course, given the availability of calculators, there is now little need for this particular application of logarithms. However, there is great value in using logarithmic properties to simplify differentiation involving products, quotients, and powers.

In Examples 4 and 5, be sure you see the benefit of applying logarithmic properties before differentiating. Consider, for instance, the difficulty of direct differentiation of the function given in Example 5. On occasion, it is convenient to use logarithms as aids in differentiating nonlogarithmic functions. This procedure is called logarithmic differentiation.

Because the natural logarithm is undefined for negative numbers, you will often encounter expressions of the form lnԽuԽ. The next theorem states that you can differentiate functions of the form y ϭ lnԽuԽ as though the absolute value notation was not present.

THEOREM 5.4 Derivative Involving Absolute Value If u is a differentiable function of x such that u  0, then d uЈ ͓lnԽuԽ͔ ϭ . dx u

Proof If u > 0, then ԽuԽ ϭ u, and the result follows from Theorem 5.3. If u < 0, then ԽuԽ ϭϪu, and you have d d ͓lnԽuԽ͔ ϭ ͓ln͑Ϫu͔͒ dx dx ϪuЈ ϭ Ϫu uЈ ϭ . u

Finding Relative Extrema

Locate the relative extrema of y y ϭ ln͑x 2 ϩ 2x ϩ 3͒. 2 Solution Differentiating y, you obtain y = ln(x2 + 2x + 3) ϩ dy ϭ 2x 2 . dx x 2 ϩ 2x ϩ 3 (−1, ln 2) Because dy͞dx ϭ 0 when x ϭϪ1, you can apply the First and Relative minimum conclude that the point ͑Ϫ1, ln 2͒ is a x relative minimum. Because there are −2 −1 no other critical points, it follows that this is the only relative extremum. The derivative of y changes from (See Figure 5.7.) negative to positive at x ϭϪ1. Figure 5.7
